The British Museum in Bloomsbury is home to one of the Caryatids, a
statue of a maiden that acted as one of the six columns in a temple
which stood on the Acropolis in ancient Athens. Lord Elgin had
brought her to London in the nineteenth century, and even though
now she was over 2,300 years old, she was still rather beautiful -
and desirable. Which is why Lord Francis Powerscourt finds himself
summoned by the British Museum to attend a most urgent matter. The
Caryatid has been stolen and an inferior copy left in her place.
Powerscourt agrees to handle the case discreetly - but then comes
the first death: an employee of the British Museum is pushed under
a rush hour train before he and the police can question him. What
had he known about the statue's disappearance? And who would want
such a priceless object? Powerscourt and his friend Johnny
Fitzgerald undertake a mission that takes them deep into the heart
of London's Greek community and the upper echelons of English
society to uncover the bizarre truth of the vanishing lady...
